Top 2018 Cannabis Cultivation Violations

On average, cannabis cultivation centers have lower compliance scores than other license types. This is due to the multitude of fluid processes, from managing inventory & business records required to managing chemicals, applications, safety training and more. To succeed in cannabis compliance, cannabis operators must automate the inspection process including a review of operational data and failure patterns by license type.
